How to have only one ucx$ftpd.log file?

Hi there,

the system I'm seeking help/advice for is fixed to OpenVMS release V7.1 and UCX Release 4.1 ECO 10. Some data gets transferred via FTP on a regular basis (5 minutes), so the number of ucx$ftpd.log files is getting a problem.How can I disable the creation of this logfile, browsing through the docs didn't give enlightment. The command "set file/version" wasn't helpful, too.

Andreas,

like Volker wrote, you can suppress creation.

If however you have a desire/need to keep them (for review or debug puprposes maybe?)then you can collect all of them in on per day by adingd something to the FTPD LOGIN.COM like$this_day = F$CVTIME(,,"date") - "-" - "-"$appendloop:$ oldfile = f$search("UCX$FTPD.LOG;1")$ if oldfile .nes. ""$ then$ append/new 'oldfile' UCX$FTPD.'this_day'$ delete 'oldfile'$ goto appendloop$ else !any old ones gone now$ rename UCX$FTPD.LOG;0 ;1$ endif

-- sorry, intended indentation murdered by forum formatting-- this is the functionality only, please DO add the necessary robustness testing!

Andreas,

UCX SET SERV FTP/INACTIVITY=12 (default was 5) with a subsequent re-enable of the FTP service seems to increase the UCX$FTPD idle time from 10 to 24 minutes (on UCX V4.2 ECO 1) - so it may be worth a try on V4.1 as well.
